Best software feature: The best feature of RapidStor V2 is it empowers the potential renter to do business immediately with the self-storage site. More often than not, self-storage websites talk about spaces, offering fillable forms and even reservation systems, but all these items are “promises to rent,” and many of them never eventuate.

RapidStor V2 takes the process further. While it can create a reservation for a future date, those customers who want to rent immediately can complete the process in a few minutes. Payment is taken, the storage agreement is provided electronically, a copy of the agreement is sent by e-mail, and the store manager receives a copy of all correspondence sent to the customer. The software comes with reporting tools so operators can review the activity from RapidStor V2.

Upgrades: RapidStor V2 is a subscription product and available worldwide for SiteLink Web Edition users. The monthly subscription fee includes all technical support and upgrades.
